References
- ↑ "Hero Walker" is the term used on set by production when classifying the zombie extras based on where they appear in scenes. Extras who are designated as "Hero Walkers" will have the most amount of makeup and prosthetic as they are usually up close in their scenes. They would need more detail in their character as opposed to zombie extras placed in the far back of herds or groups, so they would be seen less thus needing less makeup and prosthetic for their characters for filming.
